I think this is more than enough to explain why liberal Democrats are supporting Ron Paul for President. Hes better aligned with their thinking than either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
I don't think Ron Paul is anything like Obama or Hilliary. His votes are consistently for small government and freedom. To tie the small areas where Ron Paul and the democrats intersect then imply he is more of a democrat than a republican doesn't hold water. Im sure there are a lot of adulterers who will be voting for Rudy Guliani and maybe one of his kids. Im sure there will be a lot of polygamists voting for Mitt Romney. Im sure there will be an a lot of anti-free speech pro immigration amnesty advocates who will be voting for John McCain and Im sure there will be a lot of dumbasses voting for Fred Thompson because Law and Order is their favorite show. I am sick of these guilt by association threads; and Im still voting for Ron Paul in spite of them.
Under a republican president and republican congress, the size of the federal government grew 2-3 times inflation. Ron Paul voted against this expansion of the federal government. That's a real conservative.

Well, MoveOn.org, DU and Code Pink disagree with you...
Ron Paul is better aligned with Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda than Hillary or Obama are. This doesn’t bother you? or even cause you to pause and think?
